Best 6 Frittata Rolls Stuffed With Ricotta And Fresh Mint Recipes

BAKED RICOTTA FRITTATA WITH FRESH MINT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the oil in a 2-quart baking dish or a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Rub the oil over the sides of the pan, and place in the oven. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, ricotta, mint and garlic. Remove the baking dish from the oven and scrape in the egg mixture. Return to the oven, and bake 30 minutes or until lightly colored on the top and set.
• Remove from the heat, and allow to sit for 10 minutes or longer before serving. Serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

RICOTTA AND SPINACH FRITTATA WITH MINT

Steps:

• Steam the spinach above 1 inch of boiling water just until it wilts, about two minutes. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess moisture and chop fine.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, pepper, ricotta, garlic, spinach and mint.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that the bottom doesn't burn. It should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

FRITTATA ROLLS STUFFED WITH RICOTTA AND FRESH MINT

Steps:

• For filling:
• Mix all ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
• For frittata:
• Whisk eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper in another medium bowl until frothy. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of egg mixture (scant 1/4 cup) to skillet, swirling pan to coat bottom evenly in very thin layer. Cook until eggs are set and lightly browned on bottom, about 45 seconds. Turn frittata over and cook until set and slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining egg mixture and oil for a total of 3 frittatas.
• Place frittatas on work surface. Divide ricotta filling among frittatas, spreading out to edges. Roll up each frittata jelly-roll style. Wrap frittatas individually in plastic. Chill overnight. Unwrap frittatas. Cut on diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

CARAMELLA OF MINT AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Basic Pasta:
• Place egg and flour in a bowl and mix with a fork until it resembles bread crumbs. At this point use your hands to bring the mixture together to form a dough.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work service and kneed until shiny. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for about 1/2 hour.
• While the dough is resting, make your filling by mixing together the ricotta, lemon zest, nutmeg, mint and Parmesan - you may want to reserve a little Parmesan and mint for serving - and then carefully season to balance the flavours. Squeeze a little lemon juice into the mix to loosen it a bit. If you're partial to a little bit more Parmesan, mint or lemon, then do personalize the dish to your liking. Roll good teaspoons of the mix into little balls ready to fill your caramella.
• Run dough through pasta machine on its thickest setting a until it is smooth and shiny.
• Reduce setting each time until the pasta is roughly as thick as a beer mat.
• Cut the pasta into 10 (4 by 2 1/2-inch) rectangles. Fill the middle with the little balls of filling and brush lightly with water. Roll up. Keep on a flour-dusted baking sheet in the refrigerator until you need them, and try to cook them as fresh as possible.
• Make as many as you can, but I like to serve about 4 per person.
• To serve, place the caramella in boiling salted water for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water. Melt 3 good knobs of butter in a non-stick pan with the juice of 1/2 a lemon and a couple of tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. Season a little, and toss the pasta in this flavoured butter. Serve straight away with a little extra Parmesan and mint scattered over the top.
